Montpellier

Cheltenham is made up of many unique shopping districts including Montpellier, the home of stylish eats, chic boutiques and impressive art galleries.  With buzzing bars, stunning Regency architecture and beautifully manicured gardens it is a great place to visit day or night as demonstrated in our video…

Since this video was published The CheeseWorks is no longer in Montpellier. It has moved to 5 Regent Street, GL50 1HE.

There are an extensive number of historic and iconic buildings in Montpellier - from The Rotunda which is now home to the Ivy Montpellier Brasserie, to the curved facade of Montpellier Wine Bar. Spot the stone sculptures known as Caryatids, modelled on the Acropolis in Athens, which add to the deliciously continental feel of the area and enjoy the sunken courtyard home to restaurants, bars and cafes. 

Shopping

Montpellier is a destination area where independent fashion, antiques and lifestyle boutiques sit alongside cafes and wine bars. Retailers such as Beatrice Von Tresco offer a range of beautiful unique clothes, many of which are perfect for Cheltenham horse racing events. Meanwhile Sandra Dee offers a fantastic range of lingerie and swimwear and L’una Design has everything you need for interior design.

You will also find Blushes, and The Barber Shop for your hair and beauty needs, a number of independent jewellers and Park Gallery, Spring Cheltenham, Sixteen Gallery and Paragon Gallery, all independent contemporary art galleries too.

Food & Drink 

Montpellier Wine Bar, Cote and Chaplais Kitchen are all established firm favourites in the area, offering great food and the choice of indoor and outdoor dining.

The impressive Queens Hotel has its own in-house restaurant, Victoria's, serving British seasonal cuisine in a stylish setting, next door to Brasserie Blanc one of Raymond Blanc's portfolio, while John Gordon's offers an exemplary selection of wines, gins and whiskies. 

In Montpellier Courtyard diners are spoilt for choice with Gallimores Kitchen and Sam's Montpellier serving delicious high end food at affordable prices. Lazy Graze, an independent tearoom, serving an exceptionally good breakfast, brunch and lunch.

Montpellier Gardens

Montpellier Gardens was part of the original Montpellier Spa developed in the early 19th Century and taken over by the Council in 1893. There are tennis courts, a children’s play area, The Gardens Gallery and a skate park along with a quieter area for relaxing, which features a small arboretum.
